Pushing Speedwork

One of my Goals for 2013 was to do more stroller running. I've been kind of injured and so my running's been shit, but tonight I decided to get out and make up for lost time by pushing my kids around.

As I mentioned before, I have a lot of kids – and some of them are pretty big. I also mentioned that I probably wouldn't find a stroller big enough for them. I was right.

So I did what I said I was going to do. I headed to Target. That's right. Mutherfucking Target because Target has EVERYTHING.

I was hoping to get in a nice long slow run but the fucking carts cannot be taken out of the fucking parking lot. They do that wheel-locking bullshit if you cross the yellow line. The thought of doing 28 laps around the parking lot sickened me. And it was post-workday, Friday-evening-before-a-holiday-weekend crowded. I chose, instead, to do some speedwork off in a corner. It was great until they chased us out of the parking lot.

If you do not watch this video, 
you're missing the BEST part of the post.

They ended up kicking us out of the store, too.

  1. LMAO! That just made my day. So hysterical! I have pushed those carts with three SMALL children so I am impressed you got that sort of momentum going with bigger kids. The music & editing skills....so great!

    1. If only I could stand to take my kids to Target more frequently, I might get more speedwork in! LOL

  4. Damn girl! They kicked you out? No way! I can never score that huge mother cart. Plus I'm pissed the Valentines shizz was only 30% off today. WTF??

    1. One of the kids sprinted across the parking lot to nab the cart. Someone else had their eye on it. Yeah! The post-holiday sales these days are pretty lame-o! I remember the good old days when 50% off started the day after and within a few days we were down to 75% off!

    1. I was being filmed by a teenaged boy. I thought it best to keep the sweatshirt zipped up. The cleavage was there, I promise. Also, no cleavage shots on the blog until I have 300 Twitter followers and 100 FB likers, so if you want to publicly see the good stuff, you need to take your promotional duties a little more seriously. A private showing could be arranged.

  8. Seriously, why HASN'T this gone viral? I need to go do some sharing, stat. I can't believe that was actually you! I just assumed it was a funny (viral-worthy) video you pulled off YouTube! Target corporate should get a load of this video and realize it would make a great advert for them, because aren't we babes with the cartfuls of bebes pretty much their bread and butter?
